Human Neutrophils, Luminol-Amplified Chemiluminescence, Pancreatic Phospholipase A2 The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of exogenously added pancreatic phos- pholipase A2(pPLA2) on the production of reactive oxygen species by human polymorpho- nuclear leukocytes (PMNs). Pancreatic PLA2was used because PMNs do not possess a re- ceptor for that enzyme and, therefore, the receptor-mediated effects could be excluded.

Respiratory burst activity of PMNs was monitored by luminol-amplified chemiluminescence and the lipid composition of neutrophils after treatment with pPLA2 was determined by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Our results show that the products of the pPLA2digestion of the PMN membraneÐlysophospholipids and the corresponding free fatty acidsÐsignificantly enhanced the respiratory burst response of human neutrophils.
